“ We’ll be releasing videos from the new album before then,” said Kieffer, who kicked off his Canadian tour in Edmonton and is excited to play the Enmax Centre in Lethbridge on March 11.

 

“The Edmonton show was so much fun. The crowd was wild and great,” said Kieffer, nursing his voice.

Kieffer is touring with multi-instrumentalist Mitch Toler who plays guitar and keyboards.

 

“Because I like to jump around a lot. He plays guitar and keyboards and dances when I request it,” Kieffer continued.

Kieffer came to prominence a few years ago with his album Agro Pop” and videos for the  hot singles “Gut,”“ Swinger,” “Cracker Jack,” Golden Retriever” and viral hit “Red Line.”

 

“ Agro pop is what I named my music. there‘s no other way to describe it. It’s hard and sexy and fun music you can dance, drink, fight and fuck too, if you’ll pardon the language,” he said.

 

 He has gained renown as at Tik Tok and Youtube star, but there is more to him than  that.

 

 “Tik Tok definitely gave my music a bump. I’ve been making music since I was 10. Because my brother and dad played music,” he said.

I was looking forward to seeing Ty Vandendool’s return t the Slice, but missed his  Feb. 11 show as well as most of Makiisma’s set.

 Makiisma is always a pleasure to watch. Lately Megan Brown  has been playing fiddle with everybody else’s bands, so it really is a pleasure to see her playing her own songs with her own band.

 

They played a tight set of  alternative country/ death country music.

 

Keyboardist TJ Waltho added  extra layers of sound to Brown’s ethereal, spooky vocals.

Alec Arms bring the joy and the noise to AES fundraiser

I only caught a couple of shows last week.

 I caught the and of the University of Lethbridge Audio Engineer Society (AES) annual fundraiser at the owl Acoustic lounge, Saturday, Feb. 11.

 

 I just missed lady Grimes who I was looking forward to seeing. But I was in time to catch local progressive  rock/ emo trio Alec Arms.

 

I’ve never seen anybody  look  so happy to be playing traditionally sad and angry emo/ screamo music as this local trio.

 

 They played a solid set full of noisy angst ridden vocals, groovy bass, tempo changes and loud guitar riffs and interspersed with a little bit of spoken word.

 

All three looked completely blissed out and just glad to be part of the show, let alone headlining it.

 

 They played their usual intense set and were always as fun to watch as usual.
